'Hardeep Singh Puri's statement is as if he is taking money from his own pocket and giving it': Manish Tewari slams excise duty cut on petrol, diesel
Responding to remarks by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Tewari said, "I have seen Hardeep Singh Puri ji's statement. The revenue that the government gets also comes from the common man's pocket. It's the people who pay taxes, and that's how the government gets its revenue. So if the government has reduced the excise duty, the government is not giving money from its own pocket."
